total junk
I have 62,000K and have had this truck in the garage on a regular basis. Motor job at just over 50K and now oil leaking. Dealer reset the engine light after tranny was jumping and told me the truck is fine. Complete headlight assembly also replaced. Do not waste your money on Nissan.

A Tennessee Titan
After owning an F-150 for 3 years, it was time to get a new truck. After looking at my options, I decided to try a Titan. Most reviews had me nervous about making that choice, but I noticed one thing. Most of the reviews by owners were very positive and they loved their Titan. My Titan feels tighter, handles better and rides as good or better than my Ford did. Gas mileage, both V8 4wd crew cabs, is about the same. You lose about 3 inches in the back seat but the rest of the truck is very comparable in size. The Ford had an advantage in a few more storage areas, a light on the tailgate and a slightly bigger rear seat. The Nissan, firmer steering, more comfortable seats and an awesome warranty of 5/100 bumper to bumper. The Ford tows and hauls more, but just by a few hundred pounds. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my Titan and think I made the right decision.

Bad paint, horrible engine
Second Update: my truck now has 82,000 miles on it, I continue to have issues with carbon building up on the intake valved causing significant loss of power, despite having installed a catch can back at 40,000 miles. If you are thinking of purchasing a titan with the direct injection engine in it I beg you not to!! Save yourself the heartache I've been thru and buy an F150 with it's tried and true 5.0 V8 which is not direct injection. I will be selling this truck ASAP as soon as I can get some more money saved up to cover the higher cost of a better truck. And this is coming from the point of view of someone who is an experienced mechanic! Update: my Titan now has 69,000 miles on it and to be blunt I wish I had never bought it, huge buyers remorse. The paint chips continue to worsen on the hood as well as now on the roof. The ones on the roof are now rusting. The engine is horrible. I have had to remove the intake manifold and clean the intake valves 4 times now because of heavy buildup of carbon deposits due to the direct injection design of the engine in this truck. Thank goodness I'm an aviation mechanic and can do this myself, I pity anyone who does not have the ability to do this themselves. Unfortunately there is no fix to this problem. The brakes have warped badly and make the truck shudder every time I stop. The dash continues to have a bad rattle due to the flimsy way it is secured. I can confidently say I will NEVER own another Nissan vehicle ever again. I had friends who were previous Nissan owners who tried to talk me out of buying a Nissan and I regret not listening to them. Do not buy a vehicle with a direct injection only engine!! Both Ford and Toyota learned the hard way and have changed their fuel injection system to a dual injection system - part of the time it is port injection to keep the valves clean and the other part of the time it is direct injection for better fuel economy. If vehicle prices weren't so crazy right now I would have gotten rid of this POS months ago! I bought my Titan with 9,000 miles on it. When I first got it the acceleration was amazing! I was coming from a 2015 F250 with the 6.2 gas engine so my Titan felt like a rocket ship compared to my Ford. I now have 44,000 on it and there are several dislikes now. One is the paint, it is definitely not very durable and scratches very easily. I frequently lean against the side of the bed to secure my four wheeler in the bed and there are numerous scratches in the paint where I leaned up against it and only had on a cotton shirt. My Ford never scratched like this. The amount of rock dings in the front hood for only having 44,000 miles on it is horrible. All the dings are from highway driving. My Ford had significantly less chips in the paint on the hood when I sold it with 120,000 miles on it. Not happy at all with the cheap paint of the Titan. Another dislike is the loss of acceleration power. The truck definitely is not as fast as it was when I bought it. I am suspecting this is because of the direct injection fuel system and I suspect that the intake valves are getting coked with carbon as all direct injection engines do. I will be pulling off the intake manifold soon to investigate this and if coked up will have to blast clean the valves with a pecan shell blaster. If your Titan is losing power do a search online for direct injection intake valve carbon buildup. On the plus side I do a lot of highway commuting and the highway gas mileage for a V8 has been very good. However, I used to avg 19 to 20 on the highway, its now down to 17 to 18. Again I suspect my mileage loss is due to to the suspected carbon buildup on the intake valves. The dash has a rattle in it where the dash meets the windshield, I will need to put some foam on the edge to stop the rattle. Never had a single rattle in my F250. The leather seats have held up well, A/C is still very cold in summer. The OEM General Grabber HTS tires are done at 44,000 miles....now hydroplaning badly in wet weather. I have driven my truck several times down a dirt road for hunting and the ride is very smooth compared to my F250. The transmission when new felt very erratic but has calmed down now and shifts very smoothly. I've made several 6 hour drives deer hunting with it with a 650 lb four wheeler in the bed and it handles the drive very well, the added weight is only slightly noticeable. Overall other than the paint and the loss of power it's been a good truck. I can't say I love it like my Ford...wish I had held onto my F250....that was a real truck in my opinion.
